The helmet is not bad, it can be used as a pot!
It's just that it's covered in dirty tree resin which is not very easy to clean.
You need hot water and a blade to slowly scrape it off bit by bit, then scrub it over and over with palm fibers. Once cleaned up, it will be very useful!
I estimate that this steel helmet can boil at least 3-4 liters of water. Boiling water to make fish soup is no problem at all.
In fact, many soldiers often use steel helmets to cook things. Later, because this type of steel helmet was too stuffy and hot, it was replaced by the 90-style steel helmet with ventilation holes, and then lost this function.
But that's not the end of it. Lu Zhe immediately found another premium item!
An engineer shovel!
In short, this is a smaller short shovel, but not the multi-purpose kind!
But in Lu Zhe’s view, the simpler the construction, the less likely it is to break, and the more practical it is!
The short handle of the steel shovel had rotted and broken off, but the shovel itself didn't have any problems!
Find a suitable stick to plug in and fix it, and it can be used again!
After more searching, there was yet another good thing!
A 92-style mess tin, made of aluminum, with a maximum capacity of 2.5L. Inside there is a small box that can be used to hold vegetables or soup!
And it has a hanging handle that allows it to be hung directly over a fire to cook food to eat!
This mess tin didn't have much tree resin on it. After washing it clean, it can be used. Keep it for later!
Finally, there were two 1L military water bottles, one of which had been pierced by a bullet and was broken, the other was still intact, and there was still water inside when he unscrewed it!
But Lu Zhe did not have the courage to drink this water that had been stored for nearly a hundred years.
He poured it out. The inside would need to be thoroughly cleaned before it could be used!
In addition, there were rotten beddings, gas masks, spare shoes, lighters, flashlights, parachute cords, toiletries, rusty bullets, but these things were too decayed due to their age. You could barely make out their shape, let alone use them. Some couldn’t even be picked up!
Can you imagine that a single soldier had so much personal equipment!
Keep the equipment, get rid of the corpse.
Lu Zhe packed up all the useful equipment.
This harvest was so great that if he had gotten these supplies at the beginning, the difficulty of surviving would have been reduced by 90%!
Looking at the time, it was 11:30 p.m.!
"Dawn is still early, go back to sleep!"
Just now, the girls had forgotten their fear due to the adrenaline rush.
But when it became quiet again, they were a little scared again.
Jiang Yao said worriedly: "Do you think that skeleton won't turn into a ghost and come looking for us!"
"Yao Yao, you're trying to scare people again!"
Lu Zhe imagined the scene of the girls whipping the corpse earlier and chuckled to himself: "Are you sure it would still dare to come?"
Shen Bing also said, "That's right, the bones have been tossed away already. If it really comes, we'll give it a good beating!"
Ning Shu praised: "Well said!"
Although they said that, at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the girls huddled together again, roasting by the fire, chatting from The bright sword to The Eight Hundred, then to My team, becoming more and more spirited as they chatted, completely unable to fall asleep.
As a result, the four girls stubbornly sat there from the dark night until dawn.
Fortunately, Lu Zhe and Shen Bing were both asleep!
In the morning, Lu Zhe woke up from the hammock and looked at his watch. It was 6:50 a.m.
Today was June 26th, the seventeenth day since being stranded on the deserted island!
On this day, they would continue to look for drinking water and a route up the mountain to higher ground.
But the situation now was not very optimistic. Their packs were heavier than before, and no one had slept well, so their pace was even slower.
After walking along the foot of the mountain all morning, they still hadn't found a way up the mountain.
Seeing that they were about to run out of drinking water, and everyone was exhausted.
Lu Zhe decided to change his strategy!
